After his recent prom date, LeBron James’ son Bronny James faced vile racial abuses and attacks. The 18-year-old took out his rumored girlfriend, Peyton Gelfuso, to his high school prom. Gelfuso, a 19-year-old white woman, has also been heavily ridiculed online by the fans. Some started saying Bronny’s date was accompanying him for money, while others told the young basketball star should have chosen a ‘black queen.’ Even last year, when Bronny attended Peyton’s senior prom as a date, the couple was subjected to racial abuse. Controversial streamer Adin Ross has come to the rescue of Bronny in this situation. He calls out all the haters for racially abusing Bronny and Peyton, asking them to leave Bronny alone.
